A review by raehink
Crazy in Alabama by Mark Childress

5.0

Lucille is on her way from Alabama to Hollywood to become a star on The Beverly Hillbillies. She has poisoned her husband and has his head in a Tupperware container which she keeps with her at all times. Childress does an excellent job of capturing the flavor of the turbulent 1960s as well as making the horrific seem comedic. My favorite scene involves Lucille, the Tupperware, a formal get-together and a yappy little dog. I laughed and cried through this novel.
